Eligibility

Entry into this exciting programme is competitive and will take account of qualifications, aspirations and experience. Successful applicants are likely to have an engineering background with some specialisation in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics; students from related fields will also be considered. Students are normally expected to have a good 2.1 or 1st class honours degree from a UK University or an equivalent standard from an overseas university.

The majority of successful applicants must be eligible for EPSRC funding but a number of places are also available to those who fall outside this category.  The UKRI has confirmed international students (non-UK) will be eligible for all Research Council-funded postgraduate studentships from the start of the 2021/22 academic year.

Therefore we may be able to offer a limited number of studentships to international students, which will cover fees at the UK rate, and a stipend to support living costs. UKRI funding will not cover international fees, but the fee difference can be met through other sources, i.e. self funding.

Overseas fees candidates (non-UK) should select all funding options on the application form so that they have every opportunity to receive a fully funded studentship.

To find out if you need to take a language test as part of your application, please see the Graduate Admissions website.

Students must partake in the MRes year even if they have a Master’s qualification already.  The MRes is specially designed for the Future Propulsion and Power CDT and is an integral part of the 4-year course.
